CURTAIN BIN G.

Application filed January 26, 1927. Serial No. 163,647.

The object of this invention is to provide a split ring applicable to any ordinary type of curtain rod or pole.

A further object of this invention is to provide a split ring with a square nut, the ring being conformed so as to prevent turning of the nut.

A further object of this invention is to provide a split ring for holding various thicknesses of curtains.

Various other objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent during the continuance of the following description.

In the drawing:

Figure 1, is a view of my device in operation.

Figure 2, is a cross-section of Figure 1 on line 22.

Figure 3, is a side view of form of my invention.

In practice, the numeral 1, indicates an ordinary curtain pole. The numeral 2, indicates a split ring, as shown in Fig. 2, the ring 2, slides on the curtain rod 1. The ring 2, is stamped from one piece of sheet metal.

The ring is formed as follows: The lower end 3, is turned at right angles to the vertical portion 4, the latter is perforated at 5. At the end of the vertical portion the ring is formed beginning at 6 and terminating at 7.

A connecting means as a screw 11, is used to hold the ends of the ring together. A nut 12, held against turning by means of the a modified end 3, and ring 6 is used to hold the screw as a fastening means.

In Figure 3, I show a modified form of my invention wherein I use the collapsible metallic curtain rod 15. In this instance the ring 16 is elongated. IVhile the other features of the device are the same as hereinbefore described.

In operation, a curtain 20, is set under the projection 10, and the screw 9 tightened so as to hold the curtain in place. This mode of supporting curtains does away with pins and makes it simple for the woman to hang or change the curtains without much trouble.

IVhat I claim is:

1. A curtain ring, comprising, a split ring, having two extremities, one extremity having a flat portion, the other extremity having a hollow bridge portion and adjustable means to allow variable thicknesses of the object to be supported and to hold the two portions together.

2. A curtain ring, comprising, a split ring having two extremities, one extremity having a flat portion bounded by an out-turned flange at one end, and a part of the ring at the other end, the other extremity forms a hollow bridge against the flat portion, a screw through the bridge projecting through the flat portion, a nut for the screw held fast by the out-turned flange and part of the ring.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 14th day of January, A. D. 1927.
